Match Summary Roscommon went five points up early on, John 'Jigger' O'Connor getting a goal after 35 seconds. Mikey Sheehy pegged a goal back and in a very scrappy game, (64 frees) the more experienced Kerry team ran out three-point victors.High Ball magazine, issue #6, 1998. Towards the end of the first half, Kerry player Pat Spillane lay down injured and referee Seamus Murray tried to raise him from the ground. Commentator Michael O'Hehir also doubted the authenticity of Spillane's injury, in remarks that angered the Kerry County Board. Kerry completed a three-in-a-row sequence of titles; Tom Cryan wrote in the Irish Independent: "The first half has to be one of the worst ever seen in an All-Ireland final", Donal Carroll wrote in the same publication: "The statistics are chillingly disturbing in the awarding of 64 frees — 41 to Kerry — and six bookings, three to each side – made an utter shambles of what should have been an interesting trial of strength"; in 2022, Martin Breheny listed it among "five of the worst" All-Ireland SFC finals since 1972.https://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-games/gaelic-football/five-of-the-worst-all-ireland-football-finals-since-1972-41898843.html Five of the worst All-Ireland football finals since 1972 Irish Independent Martin Breheny 9 August 2022 This was the first of five All-Ireland SFC titles won by Kerry in the 1980s.http://www.independent.ie/sport/gaelic-football/kerry-on-honour-roll-1885579.html Kerry on honour roll Irish Independent 14 September 2009 14 September 2009 Details 21 September 1980 Final Kerry football 1–9 – 1–6 Roscommon football M Sheehy 1–6, J O'Shea 0–1, G Power 0–1, P Spillane 0–1 J O'Connor 1–2, D Earley 0–1, S Hayden 0–1, J O'Gara 0–1, M Finneran 0–1 Croke Park, Dublin 63,854 Seamus Murray (Monaghan) _whiteborder _goldhorizontal _whiteborder _green_stripes_adidas _hoops_gold 009900 009900 009900 ffffff 009900 Kerry _shoulder_stripes_navy_stripes _2blueshoulderstripes _shoulder_stripes_navy_stripes _gold stripes adidas ffdd00 ffdd00 ffdd00 000066 000066 Roscommon Kerry = 1 C.
